Graduate Student Financial Assistance

For information on departmental scholarships, grants, stipends, assistantships, and fellowships, contact the academic department you plan to attend to find out what is available. The department will also be able to discuss the requirements of these programs.

Office of the Assistant Vice Provost for Graduate Education

The Office of the Assistant Vice Provost for Graduate Education administers three types of professional development funding for graduate students university-wide. Conference Funding and GuSH Research Funding are supported by the Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) and the Provost's Office.

Conference Funding awards, $500 per student, provide the means for graduate students to 1) make presentations at key conferences/exhibitions in their fields or 2) simply attend conferences and learn about the broader field of study to which they belong.

GuSH Research Funding awards, $750 per student, defray costs incurred in the completion of research required for a graduate degree at Carnegie Mellon.

Application guidelines and deadlines are available for each funding opportunity through the links on the right.
